Steve W, before anyone else adds a vote, could you please tell us the limits of each of the words that you were using, as it seems everyone has their own comprehension of what each one means.
Thanks!

If we follow what Ken said, I believe that is what design and build are. Example would be : I design the robot, give you the plans. You build as per my plans and give me back the robot. I test and redesign and give you back the robot where you rebuild as per plans and hand back to me. I really don't care what your problems are when it comes to building as per spec and you don't care what or why I designed my way.
That being said, I know that I have caused a bit of a stir. That's OK. You see I know that neither of 1 or 2 is the answer in real life. my thought process is :.................. Sorry. I think that I will remain still for a while longer before touching my own topic.
